APH Rates Are Currently Available... [UPDATED 07/27/18]

[gzmtlock]

That's true, but If it saves hundreds of dollars, OP might be willing to put up with changing rooms after the first night. It's an option to open up AP rates, anyway.

Ohmuhgosh, this is what just happened for me! We're at PBH Club level, Dec 25-28. Have been checking for APH rates for weeks, but forgot about checking for single nights rather than the block. So when this thread reminded me a couple days ago, I started checking single nights.

BINGO! We are saving over $300 a night for Dec 25! That is 43% off!!! You bet your sweet bippy we're willing to move (if necessary) to save that kind of moolah! (Helps that the "kids" are college-age so fully able to help with the relo and fully able to appreciate the savings.) I'll be checking several times a day for the other two nights. . .

If we should get two consecutive one-night reservations, does anyone know if the "multiple computer" scenario works to cancel/rebook to combine the ressies? I've read about this being done for DVC, not sure if anyone has achieved it at UOR. (With multiple computers, you get ready to cancel the two one-night ressies, then IMMEDIATELY on another computer already set up to search for a single ressie, consecutive nights, to rebook the two singles just cancelled.) It would of course represent some element of risk, but should be fairly minimal. . .especially at non-peak hours. Thoughts?

Joining this thread with some questions and in hopes of snagging a lower rate for our 3 nights at HRH in May. We hope to save more than the SMSM rate we have for a Deluxe 2 Queens room.

What is the best guess on when early May APH rates will be released?

Since I am planning on buying 1 Seasonal Pass to get the APH rate should I buy it now or just wait? IOW is this pass likely to go up soon?

I went ahead and bought my Season Pass yesterday and 2 passes from Maple Leaf tickets as well.

Happy to see APH rates drop for my January dates, make sure to keep checking your existing rates periodically.

Flipped over to PBH since only $10+ more a night.

Kimball - as long as you have it when u check in should be good.

Subscribing! Looking for APH rates for February 14-18th. (So close!!)

If I were you, I'd go ahead and book those nights. You can have the APH discount applied to the 14th, 15th, and 16th. With the 17th and 18th being President's Day weekend, there's a chance that there won't be an APH discount for that time.

True, I didn't even think about that. I'm going to do that. Thanks!

Curious if you were able to book it that way.

At the risk of being a broken record here, in the past, wanting to use 2 different rates (even if one is rack) would require booking 2 separate reservations.

They always advise you may have to change rooms. Make sure to request the reservations be linked when you book but be prepared since it's a busy holiday weekend. I'd think it'd be advantageous for them to not have to turn the room, but you never know. Based upon sheer numbers, you'd think a regular room likely has better chance of you staying put vs a suite.

You will have had to stop by the desk to check in (again) on the morning of the 2nd portion of the reservation. OT it works the same way @ WDW, just the way their booking matrix works I was told when inquring

Lastly, you can ask when you call if the weekend is a blackout day for APH rates.

Actually decided to change our dates to february 10-14 to avoid that weekend

Hope this is the right place to ask...a few years ago we booked an APH rate, but didn't actually have the AP when we checked in as we needed to upgrade a ticket upon arrival. This was not an issue at that time (2012). I am wondering if the same holds true now. We already have 3 days tickets and I am planning to upgrade one to a seasonal pass if the rate becomes available for our dates (May 28-30), but that is Memorial Day, so not sure we will get anything worthwhile. Any advice/experience is greatly appreciated!

I have to show them mine when I check in. Maybe they would let you bring it to the later.

You can show the AP during your stay and before you check out of the hotel to keep the booked AP rate

I didn't see this answered elsewhere, but sorry if this is a repeat.

Does one person per room need an AP or just the reservation owner? Meaning - I get an AP and reserve two rooms (other occupants just get normal tickets), does the AP discount work on both rooms or will one person in each room need an AP?

 

[macraven]

AP holder can reserve two rooms with the discount if it involves young children


If all are adults, there must be one adult per room that has the AP pass

I am even farther away. I'm waiting for August APH rates.

 

[macraven]

I'm further away than you

My reservation starts October 1 2017

Booked oct 21 this year for the vacation

The AP schedule hasn't been extended, but if you got shut out from AP rates for your dates through mid-February, check again. They've opened up some additional AP availability for the dates I'm going in January, so you might luck out.

 

[Mom2Stitch]

Need 3/4-3/6, about how far out do they release the dates?

I could take a guess on this but it varies so many times on the release dates

Best bet is to book a room rate you could live with and watch the site so you can modify your rate when AP rates are released to the public
